Let’s take a closer look at our selections from over the weekend, starting on Friday in some NBA action where The Oklahoma City Thunder failed to cover the -5 spread in their 113–104 loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal series. Despite a strong start, the Thunder couldn't maintain their lead as the Nuggets rallied in the second half, with Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. leading the comeback. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cleveland Cavaliers successfully covered the -2.5 spread with a 126–104 win over the Indiana Pacers in Game 3. Donovan Mitchell delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 43 points to help the Cavaliers cut the Pacers' series lead to 2–1.
On Saturday, The Philadelphia Phillies and Cleveland Guardians combined for 8 runs, surpassing our over 7.5 selection for the game. Bryce Harper's three-run homer in the eighth inning was a highlight, contributing to the Phillies' 7–1 victory. Pitcher Ranger Suárez also played a key role, allowing only three hits over seven scoreless innings. In Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks combined for 208 points, hitting our over 206 selection. The Celtics dominated the game, winning 115–93, with Jayson Tatum leading the team with 26 points. Boston's improved three-point shooting, hitting 20 of 40 attempts, was instrumental in cutting the Knicks' series lead to 2–1. More on that series below.
Finally, on Sunday, The Oklahoma City Thunder covered the first-quarter -1.5 spread in their 92–87 victory over the Denver Nuggets in Game 4. The Thunder started strong, taking an early lead, and maintained their advantage throughout the game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 25 points, helping to tie the series at 2–2. In some MLB action, the San Francisco Giants were unable to secure a win against the Minnesota Twins, losing 7–6 in extra innings. Despite Heliot Ramos' impressive performance, including a home run and four RBIs, the Giants couldn't hold onto their lead. The Twins completed a three-game sweep with this victory.

Analysis:
The Boston Celtics vs. The New York Knicks series has been a rock fight so far, with New York laying a dud in Game 3. Hard to believe New York is going to do that again in Madison Square Garden. The Celtics finally showcased their scoring prowess in Game 3 by hitting 20 of 40 three-point attempts, leading to a 115-93 victory. That was a far cry from how they looked in the first two games in Boston. Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard were… [Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

Timberwolves -5
Analysis:
The Minnesota Timberwolves are in a good spot to cover the -5 spread tonight against the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series. Leading the series 2–1, the Timberwolves have shown their superior depth and defensive prowess, particularly in their recent 102–97 victory (could’ve easily won by more), where Anthony Edwards scored 13 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter to secure the win. Minnesota's defense, anchored by Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels, has effectively limited Golden State's offensive options, especially with Stephen Curry sidelined… [Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...
